The proposed maps, released by the New York State Legislative task Force on Demographic Reapportionment and Redistricting (LATFOR), are supposedly well-intentioned, drawn to create districts where minorities are the majority of the residents. The LATFOR’s website explains that the districts they draw are intended to ensure “your right to fair and effective representation.” That all sounds nice, but one glance at the New York City State Senate map is all it takes to question the righteousness of their proposed districts.
